Off topic but I’d recommend printing this stand on its side vs the back.
In its current orientation the stress would be dispersed directly against the layers and it’ll be more prone to break.
If you print it in the side it’ll spread the stress across multiple layers. The annoying bit would be the need for supports on that split.
For the lines you could try a fuzzy texture.

That makes sense, thank you. I still added supports for this orientation under the top end of the curve. It was originally designed to print on the bottom, but I changed it this way because the original orientation needed too much support. I should have printed it on its side.

not the original commenter, but it always amazes me how strong a 3d print can be if made considering the layers orientation, and how weak when I don’t

It’s something like 5× stronger in the direction it prints than across layers, with great adhesion. It’s even worse if your adhesion is lower.
